The Rawlins La6Qrette, after a gallant
struggle of nearly three years, has passed
way from the mundane sphere to the
journalistic boneyard. The paper has
been a faithful and consistent advocate of
the working people, but it never received
proper support from the class which it
struggled to assist. From the ashes of
the LdJorette will rise in a few weeks the
Ledger, which will be printed at Carbon.
Will Reid will be its editor. Everyone
who has watched the faithful struggle of
this hard working and deserving young
man will hope to zee him reap a golden
harvest in his new field.

There is n wealth" of queer names
all through this region. 1t is but q little
while since we passed Rat Portage, and
now we come to Medicine Hat, The first
Of which names 1 could not get the origin
Of, but the second l did, and
place enough I found it. Medicine Cap
was an old medicine man of the Black
foot tribe of Indians, who had his wig
wan on the site of the present town, and
so when the own was laid out they
''honored" him by calling it medicine
Hat, thinking, probably, that chat
was higher toned than ''cap!"
Apropos of the change of names, / see
that the Ottawa parliament recently
changed the name of Boundary peak to
Pope's peak. in honor of the minister of
railways; Mount Hermit to Mount Tup-
per, after the minister of finance; Mount
Carroll to Mount Macdonald, after the
premier; Mount Cunningham to Mount
Mackenzie, after the ex-premier, and an
unnamed mountain to be called Mount
Macpherson. Boundary peak and Mount
Hermit should never have been changed,
as their titles are significant and possess
q certain degree of poetry; but the others
meant nothing then, and are no heavier
now. The people now honored are said to
have been intimately connected with the
inception and execution of the Canadian
Pacific railway. / should prefer to see
such names as Rat Portage, Kicking
Horse and similar monstrosities changed
to something understandable. And then
think of such a name as I~llicillwaeti
Even Boston culture would stagger at
such a name as that What then could
be expected in the wild, untamed ''rowdy
west?"--Cor. D~+rNitsFrne Press.

1 was told the richest thing about a
Minneapolis girl. A certain Swedish
baron of fine family and education came
to this country, and-the old story-found
himself obliged to obtain any situation to
keep himself from absolute want, so he
entered the clothing store OF M as
clerk. Well, this young lady, hearing he
was a noble, must ave his autograph, so
she came into the store one day and re-
quested it, leaving her album. 1t puzzled
him greatly. Why should she want his
autograph, a complete stranger Sud-
denly the truth struck him, and'he wrote
his name, and beneath: "Clerk in Ms
store" ''Oh," said he to me, "you should
have seen her face lengthon, and she said:
Il didn't want that. I wanted your name
and your title.' There it is 1 answered;
there's the name, md clerk at Ms
is the only title 1 wear in thisc country. +"
